Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Where is the envoy of our Great Song Dynasty?" Yue Fei thought for a while and asked abruptly.

These Khitan people said before that they came here at the invitation of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. If so, they must have met the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty! However, all he saw now was the Khitans!

"The envoy of your country is here!" Yelu Yi said.

At that moment, Yelu Yilie clapped his hands, and saw several Khitan people walking over carrying a stretcher.

A person was lying on a stretcher covered with thick quilts and clothes, and his face was covered. Those Khitan people lifted the quilt slightly, and a Han face appeared in front of Yue Fei.

The appearance of the Han people is very different from that of the Khitan people, relatively speaking, they are much more delicate, and they can be recognized at a glance.

Seeing the Han man, Yue Fei nodded slightly.

"You are General Yue!" The Han man looked extremely haggard, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were bloodshot. He struggled at this moment.

"It's Yue Fei!" Yue Fei nodded.

"General Yue, I am a soldier of the intelligence department. I left Wugong County a year ago, and then I went all the way to the northwest! I have passed through more than ten deserts, passed through countless Gobi areas, and reached thousands of miles away. Only then did I find the tribe of the Khitan people! Now Yelu Dashi is the Great Khan of Khitan. I saw him and handed over His Majesty’s letter of credence. Yelu Dashi is willing to cooperate with us, and he sent his eldest son here! On the way, When I get wind and cold, I can't afford to get sick..." The soldier coughed violently while talking, and it took him a long time to stop.

His hand has also been stretched out at this moment, and he is holding the gold medal from the intelligence department, and there is also a reply letter from Yelu Dashi.

"Besides me, three other comrades-in-arms died in the desert! They will never come back!" the soldier gasped.

Yue Fei has hurriedly held him down, and Yue Fei's internal energy has been continuously sent into the warrior's body. Soon, a rosy glow appeared on the soldier's face. Yue Fei could tell that there were hardly any pieces of flesh on this soldier's body, and there were bones everywhere, which looked extremely terrifying.

Yue Fei's eyes filled with tears.

Over the past few years, the whole country has been working hard to regain the Central Plains. In order to find Yelu Dashi, the Military Aircraft Department and the General Staff Headquarters sent hundreds of soldiers back and forth, but few soldiers have returned until now. The soldier in front of me is probably the only one who can see Yelu Dashi with his own eyes.

Historically, Yelu Dashi fled to the Uzbekistan area of ​​later generations, which is very far away from Guanshan. It is possible to see Yelu Dashi and find the Khitan people who fled Liao Kingdom after passing through countless deserts, grasslands, and Gobi.

Now Yelu Dashi has become the leader of the Khitan people, but he has lost all his land. He is no longer called "Emperor", but "Khitan Great Khan".

Yelu Dashi also wanted to restore the country wholeheartedly, but he didn't have the strength to restore the country at all. Over the years, he has been hiding from the Jin Kingdom. He has accumulated strength on the distant grasslands, but unfortunately his strength is still too far away from the Jin Kingdom!

It wasn't until the soldiers from the Intelligence Department arrived that Yelu Dashi felt that there was hope for the restoration of the country, so he sent people here.

At that moment, Yue Fei read Yelu Dashi's reply letter, and he also read the Khitan credentials brought by Yelu Yilie and others. Only at this time did he feel completely relieved.

"General Yue, what are you going all the way north for? As far as I know, Xixia's strength has been greatly weakened, and it is no longer possible to threaten you. Could it be that you are trying to deal with the Jurchens?" Yeluyi Lie asked at this moment.

It was snowing heavily, and in the heavy snow all over the sky, this cavalry team could not be seen at a glance, and it looked extremely large in scale! At this moment, Yelu Yilie was also secretly surprised. The Khitans had also confronted the Hans for more than a hundred years, but this was the first time they saw such a cavalry team of the Hans! The Han people lost the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and the Hetao area of ​​Xixia. Since then, there is no place to raise horses, and the Han people are no longer qualified to form cavalry! Now it seems that the Han people have benefited greatly in the war with Xixia, which is why this cavalry appeared!

"That's right! Hundreds of thousands of Jurchen troops are organized in the country, and they are about to go south, threatening the safety of the Great Song Dynasty! We are going north to stop the Jurchen army!" Yue Fei said.

"This is really great! I was ordered by my father to meet the emperor of your country and discuss with the emperor about sending troops together! I never thought that your country would send troops now, but it is impossible for me to notify my father now!" Yeluyi said.

Yue Fei frowned slightly. If he could contact and cooperate with the Khitan people earlier, then the war situation would be much more favorable than it is now. Although the Liao Kingdom fell, the number of Khitan soldiers who fled was not many. Yelu Dashi took away only 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses, and only 600,000 people. However, the Khitan people are located in the northwest. If they go south, they can surprise them Threatening the safety of Huining Mansion, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, the Kingdom of Jin must not dare to go south unscrupulously. It's a pity that they only got in touch with the Khitan people now.

It takes more than two or three months to travel from Guanshan to the distant Uzbekistan in Central Asia. With the traffic conditions of this era, it may take half a year! Back and forth for nearly a year! That is still able to pass through the countless deserts and grasslands smoothly, without encountering obstacles and setbacks in the middle.

"Our army is going north immediately! You can go south to meet me, the Emperor of Song! However, even if you go south, you may not be able to see him now. His Majesty may not be in Guanshan now." Yue Fei said lightly.

"General Yue, I haven't finished my sentence yet! Although it is impossible for us to send troops with you, we have already contacted our clansmen when we came halfway! Our clansmen are oppressed by the Jurchens, and life is worse than death. They I have endured to the extreme! Now in the area of ​​Shangjing and Zhongjing, our clansmen are planning to resist! It’s just that our clansmen are afraid of lack of strength, so they have never dared to rise up! If the general really goes north to fight the Jurchens, the battle will be favorable, and we will fight in Shangjing and Zhongjing The clansmen will immediately rise up and respond to the generals! I will send someone to contact those clansmen! Also, many of our clansmen were broken into the Jurchen army, we can also find a way to contact those clansmen in the Jurchen army! General Yue, I will send other people to the south to meet His Majesty the Emperor with the letter of credence, and I will follow the general to the north to contact the tribe at any time." Yeluyi said.

"Really?" Yue Fei said in disbelief.

"Of course it's true! It's about my Khitan restoration, how dare I talk nonsense?" Yeluyi said.

"It's really God helping me!" Yue Fei raised his head to the sky and screamed, his heart was overjoyed.

If what Yelu Yilie said is true, then the hope of fighting the Jurchens will be much greater.

Now Yelu Yilie explained in detail the current situation of the Khitans in the Kingdom of Jin, including some leaders among the Khitans, how they communicate with each other, their preparations for an uprising, and so on! As Yue Fei listened, he felt even more delighted!

The army was still moving forward, only Yue Fei and others stayed here, Yue Fei thought for a while, and then ordered a hundred soldiers to escort the rest of the Khitans towards Yan'an Mansion, and when they arrived at Yan'an Mansion, Li Xianzhong would naturally entertain them. We will take them to the Wugong County Staff Headquarters! But Yue Fei himself continued to move forward with Yelu Yilie.

The further north you go, the heavier the snow falls, and the deeper the snow accumulation!

By the afternoon, the snow on the wasteland was half waist deep! Under such circumstances, Yue Fei first sent people to the front to scout the way, and the 110,000 troops behind followed closely the scouts! The cold wind howled, blowing on people's faces like knives. Under such circumstances, the army still didn't stop at all! Still moving forward! They had dismounted from their horses and were leading the horses forward.

Yelu Yilie followed Yue Fei, at first he looked down on the Han army! He has been educated since he was a child, the Han people are the race with the worst armed force in the world, the soldiers of the Han people are extremely lazy and slack, and the soldiers of the Han people also don’t know their generals, and the generals don’t know their soldiers! However, Yelu Yilie was greatly shocked by what he saw and heard at this moment! With such a heavy snowstorm, even the Khitans would stop, but this Han army is still moving forward!

"In just over ten years, our Liao Kingdom perished, and the Song Dynasty also lost half of its country. The two emperors of the Song Dynasty were captured by the Jurchens! But after experiencing so many hardships, this nation seems to have undergone some changes! We can't underestimate this nation! In the future, even if the country can be restored, the Han people will still be the enemy!" Yelu Yilie secretly said.

He was educated by Yelu Dashi since he was a child, and his vision is extraordinary. At this moment, the strength of the Khitan people is already weak, but he still has the ambition to restore the country, and he is also preparing for the restoration of the Khitan at any time.

The army continued to trek forward until late at night, when they found a shelter from the wind, they stopped to rest.

Countless bonfires lit up on the vast snowfield at this moment, and the soldiers were lighting fires for cooking.

Yelu Yilie was sitting beside Yue Fei at the moment, and said: "General Yue, I see that all of your army are light cavalry. Few of you have heavy armor in your 100,000 army? I heard from my father that the Song Dynasty has always been rich. Could it be that because of the Jurchen invasion, your Great Song Dynasty also lost all your wealth, and you can't even wear heavy armor?"

In this era, all cavalry were wearing heavy armor. It was not until the emergence of Genghis Khan that there were pure super-large-scale light cavalry operations of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

When Zhao Chen captured Guanshan for the first time, he obtained tens of thousands of war horses from the Jurchens. At that time, the imperial army once formed 20,000 cavalry. At that time, the 20,000 cavalry were still traditional cavalry, wearing heavy armor. It was not until the end of the Xixia War that pure light cavalry began to be organized in the imperial army, including the 20,000 veterans who had also begun to light cavalry.

The mobility of light cavalry is far better than that of heavy cavalry, which is conducive to long-distance trek combat, and even more conducive to the realization of strategic operations. It can appear unexpectedly behind the enemy, disrupt the enemy's strategic deployment, and make the enemy focus on one thing and lose another. On this basis Destroy the enemy army. Back then, Genghis Khan's great detour strategy came from the countless light cavalry, relying on his genius command to constantly destroy the enemy.

And Yue Fei "copied" all of this, but the formation of this army is still short, and there is not much military success.

At this moment, Yue Fei just smiled lightly, and said: "We have won countless war horses from the Xixia people, but we can't equip the army with so many armors in a short time!"

What Yue Fei said was also true. The Battle of Xixia had just ended more than half a year ago. The armor of the cavalry was very different from that of the infantry. It was impossible to prepare so many armors for the cavalry.

Yelu Yilie nodded, and then suddenly realized.

*** ***

The next day, when the sky was getting dark, Yue Fei's army continued to head north.

This road was extremely desolate, and there were hardly many people to be seen. Even wild animals, there were not many in this winter.

The army didn't rest until late at night every day, and sometimes they couldn't find shelter from the wind, and the army didn't even rest at night, but continued to move forward.

Until the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the army came to Yinzhou City in the eastern frontier of Xixia.

It was originally occupied by the Dangxiang people for more than a hundred years, but after the Xixia War, it has been re-occupied by the Han people.

There are more than 2,000 Huanqing Army soldiers stationed here. Apart from these soldiers, there are also countless youths from the Production and Construction Corps.

Since last winter, the General Staff Headquarters began to prepare for the upcoming war, and countless grains, supplies, siege equipment, etc. were transported here one after another. Those who transported these were naturally the youths of the Production and Construction Corps. After they came here, they were ordered to stay here and did not leave here! Now the number of young people in the Production and Construction Corps here has reached 50,000.

It was windy and snowy outside, and from a distance, only a vast expanse of whiteness could be seen.

However, when the army appeared, countless young people still came to the city wall, and they cheered.

They had already received the news yesterday, and they have been welcoming the arrival of the army from yesterday to today.

This time the army is going east, and they have also been ordered to follow the army to the east to deliver supplies! These young people have long been eager to go to the battlefield, and now their wish has finally come true!

The gate of Yinzhou City was opened, and the more than 2,000 defenders had already braved the wind and snow to go out to welcome the arrival of the army!

The leading general rode on a horse and galloped forward.

"Brother Yue!" His voice came from a long distance away.

At this moment, Yue Fei has already gone forward alone.

"Dong Xian!" Seeing the general who came to welcome him, Yue Fei was overjoyed.

This Dong Xian is Yue Fei's fellow villager. When Yue Fei served as the recruiter of Henan Province, Dong Xian joined the rebel army with Yue Fei. Afterwards, when the execution was available, Dong Xian followed Yue Fei to Hanzhong. After that, Dong Xian joined the Forbidden Army, and then Dong Xian was transferred to the Huanqing Army! After the Battle of Xixia, Dong Xian led more than 2,000 people to garrison Yinzhou!

Now, they finally meet again!

"Brother Yue!" Dong Xian was extremely surprised!

"How is the preparation of Yinzhou City now? The battle will start soon!" Yue Fei said as the two moved forward together.

"Sufficient food, grass and supplies have been prepared! Materials from Guanshan, Northwest, and Lingzhou are all transported here! This place is enough to support an army of 100,000 to fight for half a year!" Dong Xian said.

"This time it's not just a 100,000 army, but 200,000!" Yue Fei said.

"Brother Yue, don't worry, our food and supplies will continue to be transported here! In the past two years, the harvests in Guanshan, Sichuan and Shu have been excellent, and we have a lot of food in reserve, enough for an army to fight!" Dong Xian said.

"That's the best! Dong Xian, you are highly skilled in martial arts and quite resourceful. You will fight with me this time!" Yue Fei said.

This Dong Xianben was the main general of the Yue Family Army in history. Together with Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Xu Qing, and Niu Gao, he was called the "Five Tiger Generals" of the Yue Family Army. There is no doubt about his talent, so Yue Fei will be the first to use him after he comes here.

"Great!" Dong Xian was overjoyed.

After a while, Zhang Xian, Liu Kai and others also led their troops over. Dong first saluted them, not to mention that.

The army quickly entered Yinzhou City.

Yinzhou City is a small city, but fortunately there are not many residents here, only more than 50,000 young people, so the army can barely squeeze into this city.

At this moment, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Liu Qi, Dong Xian and others had already entered the state government office, and everyone began to discuss the important matters of siege.
